Is a winch worth the extra money if your hitting urban a lot? Or is it best to just go with the bungee even though it takes a couple people just to pull it back?
 
It always pays to have a winch from an energy conservation standpoint, but there are certain situations where a bungee is preferable. Personally, I'd take a winch over a bungee any day
 
Winches can be loud make it more likely for you to get kicked out. However, they are more efficient than banshee bungees.
 
bungees are the cheap solution but only worth it if you have a pack of friends who are willing to go tire themselves out every time you hit urban.

We ran a 3 man operation with the winch, 1 filmer, 2 riders each taking turns running the winch. You'd only get a hour or two of DECENT hits on a feature with 2 people pulling a bungee before they are both gassed
 
Don't discount the benefits of a good old fashioned drop in ramp either though. They me be a little more bulky but in certain situations they are key.
 
i heard this as well, dont know if theres any truth to it, but it be interesting to hear the story if they did in fact get sued. ( wonder what for ) but ya i have no clue how true that is tho.
 
this too, if you have a short in run then a ramp is gonna be your best bet.

i would love a winch, opens up so many more features
 
If you have spots where a car tow or two 20ft bungees tied together wouldn't get you the speed and you have 3-5 grand then yea. I have a friend that makes them for 3 grand (only a few a year) and there's Heine winch but they're expensive (the one poor boyz uses). A good winch should get you up to 90-110km/h max speed.
 
a winch aint cheap thts for sure, but theres so many more possibilities if you have one thats for sure. be cool to find a nice decent priced one on craigslist or something, new ones just to spendy for me, so drop in, and banshee guna have to cut it for me unless like i said , if i find a nice or decent used one for sale id love to have one, be a great thing to have in urban arsenal. but even used ones are spendy to some point thats for sure. but on another note anyone have any suggestions on whether a diesel or gas powered winch , and which one works better for majority of urban missions ? kinda found one for a good deal and was just wondering, thanks .
 
They should make something that you drive your car onto (sort of like the thing in ferris beulers day off) that spins some other wheels with a rope wrapped around it. I fee like I could make one for cheap.
 
yup. with scrap steel and scrap parts from a go kart track. there's magnitudes of information online, you just gotta have a few tools and some motivations.
